Basic Development Question
Hello I'm somewhat new to MINA. Currently using V2.0 on Win XP. I was wondering what the correct approach would be for trying to do the following:
I have a simple server which accepts client connections (very much like the one in the MINA v2.0 Quick Start Guide). Suppose some event is triggered within the server in a separate event thread (from the threads managing the client sessions). Suppose this event is time based (happens everyday at 12:00pm) and is a simple message which is to be sent to a specific client saying 'Lunch Time'. What is the correct approach needed for this event thread to contact the appropriate client session to send the message 'Lunch Time'? Is it as simple as the event thread performing a session.write(aObject) for the appropriate client or is there some more amazing way to achieve this? For example, can the event thread inform the client session that there is a message which needs to be sent and let the client session's thread actually do the write?
Thanks

You could also take advantage of the IoService.broadcast(Object) method.

I don't think there is a mechanism like that. And I think the first approach
is easier, no ?
